Well if its turning over than you need to check to see if you have fuel presure. And ignition spark. You can buy a fuel test gauge at you local autoparts store. There is a fitting on your fuel rail that routes fuel to the injectors. You can also buy a spark indicator to hook up to the plug wire at this same store. Hook it up check for spark. Then go from there.   ASE Tech

I know this is a completely different vehicle.  But a freind of mine had a 2001 Ford Explorer and had a similar situation.  Their was a switch I believe in the glove box that turned the fuel back on.  He of course found this out after a rather expensive tow to the dealership.  Look through your owners manual for something similar.  Just a thought, good luck.

Mopar does not use the fuel Enersha shutoff switch. This feture is exclusive to Ford. In Fords its also located in the right side kick panel. ASE Teck
